Welcome to Green House 5
with Ms. May Voltz
August 31 - September 4, 2020
Dear Green House FamiLEE!
Wow! Another week already has flown by. I am so truly thankful for my learners and their supportive families! Yesterday, at the end of a great math challenge several learners stayed on and told me how much they enjoyed our Zoom sessions. This is truly melted my heart. I know that nothing can replace being with our learners in person, but we are really making the best of our situation and getting better with every passing day. I am so proud of every learner, my fifth-grade team of incredible designers, and the support we receive every day. I am in awe of the resiliency of these lovely children. THANK YOU!!!
Heartfelt Thanks,
Ms. Voltz
